Government Entities Responsible for 208 Planning in Ohio

Areawide Planning Agency 208 Plan

The 208 plans, or areawide waste management treatment plans, can only be prepared by the State of Ohio or one of the six areawide planning agencies listed below. See background information on the areawide planning agencies. Each areawide planning agency maintains a single 208 plan covering the counties in its jurisdiction. Those 24 counties are shown in color on the map below.

State of Ohio 208 Plan

The State of Ohio is responsible for maintaining the 208 plan applicable in the remaining 64 counties. Ohio EPA Division of Surface Water currently has the role of compiling 208 plan content for the Governor's certification as part of the State WQM Plan. This Web site provides access to the current State WQM Plan as well as information about on-going work to reshape its format and content.
